well, a month before i bought 3 diamond stoned 18K anniversary ring from Bangkok but after the flights i found a prong of side stone was broken. and i checked my photos when i took in bangkok at hotel after purchase and i found it was still broken. my country is far away and i was thinking to resolve the problem in my country. already passed several days and i did not wear it much, just 2-3 times and i found second one has broken
today i just went to local jeweler and he said only the way is to buy a new setting! they do not have the ready setting for my ring and i should wait new setting. unfortunately he said the price of the new setting will around 200-300usd and about 300usd for service.
but i found from this forum that broken prongs can be fixed by laser or traditional solder. unfortunaly in my country we dnt have any experienced jeweler with a laser machine. i can find only non-experienced one who can make solder.
what can i do with this issue, please help! i am so upset with my brand new 5th anniversary ring
i feel so guilty for my husband!
thank you for time!
